A test of nerve as much as quality when Falkirk welcome Heart of Midlothian.
Falkirk (6th, 46 pts) host Heart of Midlothian (1st, 70 pts) in the Scottish Premiership. Both sides will be targeting three points here.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Falkirk will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Heart of Midlothian travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Neither side arrives in vintage form. Falkirk have gone L-L-L-L-W, Heart of Midlothian's L-L-W-D-W reads much the same, but that's exactly the kind of game where one moment settles it and a whole fanbase goes home happy. Tight, tense, and there for the taking for whoever holds their nerve.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Falkirk average 1.3 goals per game and Heart of Midlothian manage 1.8. Combined that's just 3.1. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Promotion is on the line. Falkirk (6th) and Heart of Midlothian (1st) are both in the playoff places. This could determine who goes up.
Heart of Midlothian are similarly well-balanced. 1.8 scored, 0.9 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
